Truck carrying Starbucks products to Washington was also hauling 126 pounds of meth

A traffic stop led to the Centralia Police Department to seuizing 126 pounds of methamphetamine from a semi-truck that was hauling Starbucks products between California and Spokane, Wash. (Centralia Police Dept.)

A haul of Starbucks products being transported between California and Washington State included something significantly more potent than an extra shot of espresso.

Officers with the Centralia Police Department seized nearly 130 pounds of methamphetamine and other drugs stashed inside the Spokane-bound semi-truck following a traffic stop on Thursday, according to Fox 13.

Authorities said both the driver and passenger of the 1996 Freightliner tractor and refrigerated trailer had been acting suspiciously, prompting them to request the assistance of a drug-sniffing canine.

The dog uncovered 40 bundles of meth in a television box on the top bunk of the truck's sleeper bunk and another 50 bundles stashed beneath the mattress on the lower bunk, according to the Olympian.

Authorities also found several grams of cocaine, a little more than 2 pounds of what they believe to be heroin and thousands of 30 milligram oxycodone pills.

None of the illegal substances were stashed in the truck's refrigerated trailer, which is where the Starbucks products had been housed. Officers said the merch for the coffee mega-chain was not contaminated and was transferred onto another truck, which continued on to Spokane without issue.

The driver, a 22-year-old from Mexico, and the passenger, a 62-year-old California native, were arrested and booked into Lewis County jail on multiple drug charges.
